Having worked as an Offensive Cyber Security engineer for the last 5 years with a focus on Cyber Penetration testing, I decided to venture into a side of Pentesting that is often neglected. Physical Penetration testing.
On the back of advice given by Brian Harris of Covert access in an article he wrote in July titled "How to become a Black Team Member", I've booked onto a two week Locksmithing bootcamp as a starting point. I created this channel to document my journey in the hope it's of interest to others.
Thank you. This was helpful. I found mine kinda sticks against that rubber spacer too. It does not come out of good back in very easily. It also appears the little metal tab on mine is not exactly perpendicular to the rest of the riv-pick housing. Seeing you operate yours was helpful.
I'm good enough at picking so I don't need things like the wafer jiggler or a American padlock bypass tool, etc... My preferred is just the riv pick, turning tools, a warded tool and a notch decoder.
Light to medium tension, go across each of the pins and give a light tap. Just bounce it, don't try and pick it. Delicate taps. Find the high pins, ease tension slightly if needed and gently bounce them down until you feel movement. Then look for the low pins and bounce them lightly.
Most of that has gone over my head but it’s very interesting, I use to use a basic keystroke logger & I have used software to capture screenshots & a host of other stuff including watching live what’s going on on the target computer, have you got or used any deleted texts retrievers for SIM cards? I’ve had those but find them a bit hit & miss.
I should be doing some more of the locksmith side of things during the first two weeks of Oct which may be of more interest to you as having some formal training on locks, lockpicking and other methods of non-destructive entry to buildings. In answer to your question, I've got had a need to retrieve texts messages so not used a text retriever such as the one you mentioned. I've done work around general digital forensics but that was mainly focused on data retrieval from computers.
